Bellevue considers new police station site
Published Monday

A new headquarters for the Bellevue Police Department could rise at the site of a former concrete plant.
The Bellevue City Council today will consider spending $1.5 million on the 30 acres near Fort Crook and Cornhusker Roads that formerly was home to the Wilson Concrete plant.
A long-awaited new police station would fill only a portion of the site, fitting in on the western part of the parcel across the railroad tracks, said Phil Davidson, the city's public relations coordinator. The remainder of the land could be used by the city in the future or sold, he said.
A committee that has been working to find a location for the new police headquarters chose the site after reviewing 30 to 40 properties, Davidson said. Those included city-owned properties, such as the 270 acres at 36th Street and Capehart Road, he said.
In the end, the proposed location was chosen because of its central location and its quick access to Fort Crook Road, the Kennedy Freeway and Nebraska Highway 370, Davidson said.
The site currently is owned by Coreslab Structures, part of the concrete business.
If the City Council approves the purchase, Coreslab would lease the land back from the city for a year to continue the cleanup of concrete at the site already in progress, Davidson said. Most of the buildings at the site also would be removed under the agreement.
The city, meanwhile, will await the results of a needs assessment that's currently under way by a Kansas architecture firm that specializes in police facilities. That study will let planners know, among other things, how many square feet will be needed for the new building, Davidson said.
The construction of a new headquarters still is a ways away, he said. The city hasn't yet determined the source of funds for the new police station.
The land would be acquired using money from a community betterment fund, Davidson said.
The current police station in City Hall was added in 1977, when the department had fewer than 30 officers. There now are more than 80 officers and 20-plus civilian personnel, most of whom work at the headquarters.
Bellevue Police Chief John Stacey Jr. said a new police station has been one of the city's top priorities for the past two years. Currently, records and personnel are housed in three separate facilities.
"There's been no doubt that we've outgrown this place," Stacey said. "The building is bulging at the seams. If we move, it will benefit the other city offices as well."
The proximity to major thoroughfares makes the parcel of land near Fort Crook and Cornhusker Roads ideal for a police station, Stacey said.
"If you had a map of the city and were looking for a place to put your police station, this would be the perfect spot," Stacey said.
"When we originally began looking for a new location, this land was not available, but it has changed hands a couple of times since and the result is great for us."
